Russian President Vladimir Putin asked Deputy Finance Minister Andrei Ivanov to comment on why the transition to a ruble tariff calculation has not yet taken place, during a meeting on infrastructure development of North-West region in Kaliningrad region, Wednesday.

The president called out Ivanov, asking if there were “any problems” with the transition and querying why it was yet to be completed.

Me(If i was Ivanov): "Yes, there is a problem Mr. President. First of all, why do you allow all these oligarchs to earn the wealth-GDP of 90% of the Russian population Mr. President? Why Mr. President you do not allow us, the ministers, to diversify our economy so we are not solely dependent on energey and energy-related exports?

Why, Mr. President, 30% of our budgetary report is considered as secret and "classified", prohibiting the simple Russian folks from reading and analyzing our full budgetary revenues and costs?
